What an appropriate song to end "On The Beach." I think it deals with the inevitable process of aging and passing of a generation. His references to Toronto and Isabella refer to his earlier days, simple, and chaste, so to speak. The early '70's brought an end to the hippy era, and the Nixon administration was certainly not well-received.
"An amublance can only go so fast."
Certain things, like aging and the loss of innocence, can't even be saved by anything--the ambulance symbolizing means for salvation.
